Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

To be fair, one might wanna check on the embassy construction after the country's government falls unexpectedly. The situation there changed drastically and that should prompt such considerations.

I don't blame Obama for this any more than I blame Bush for 9/11 (something coulda maybe been done, but it's not so much their direct job). But we should always learn from our errors. And not reconsidering the embassy construction after the government falls in violent overthrow seems pretty weak.

UHOO Brutha.....When did the Libyan Civil War Come to an end? When did the US remove the No FLy Zone? What date was Gadhafi killed on?

Capece.....got it now!

Do you think Gadhafi was killed in 2006? Our Embassies were Emptied out and evacuated. Hillary became SOS in 2008. The day she stepped in. This became her responsiblity. Not who Orignially did what back in 2006.

Our People were removed, all equipment taken with them. Stevens was staying in a Hotel with Reporters. She sent him back, they restocked. They didnt reiniforce. Their slack, fault, incompetance, whatever you want to call it.....lies completely on them.

If it wasn't reinforced prior to the war and there was no noticeable damage after, why would it be repaired afterward if it was holding up just fine before?
